Sudden increase in skill-up speed?

November 25th, 2012, 14:00

Just wondering if anyone else has had a sudden, substantial increase in the rate that skills level up. I just played a new character through Bleak Falls Barrow and leveled up three times. Every time I disenchant something I gain a level in Enchanting, almost every combat my weapon and armor skills go up, and half of my sneak attacks seem to increase my Sneak skill. 'Tain't normal!

I don't have many mods running, and the only recent one I've installed is to get rid of vampire attacks in cities - I don't want to live in an empty world - but turning it off didn't seem to make any difference. The only other culprit might be the latest patch, but I've not seen anyone else mention this.

I guess I'll have to find a mod to slow down skill rate in the meantime.
